Fire prevention through the Internet
I was in Florida when I got the alert. My house, it said, was in danger of catching fire due to an electrical problem. Not news I wanted to receive while 1400 miles away from home. Ting, an internet-connected device plugged into an outlet, detected a problem. Whisker Labs was reaching out to warn me. […]
MCUs maintain ±1.0% oscillator precision without trimming
Renesas Electronics Corporation introduces the RA0E2 microcontroller Group based on the Arm Cortex-M23 processor. These new devices deliver 2.8mA current consumption in active mode and 0.89mA in sleep mode, with power dropping to 0.25µA in Software Standby mode. The integrated high-speed on-chip oscillator enables fast wake-up capabilities, allowing the MCUs to remain in low-power mode […]
Understanding electret condenser microphones
Electret condenser microphones (ECMs) are widely used in audio applications due to their small size, low cost, and high sensitivity. They operate using a permanently charged diaphragm and backplate, eliminating the need for external polarization. This makes them ideal for use in consumer electronics, hearing aids, and professional audio equipment. Their ability to deliver a […]
